language 2.0 Rebirth, Expansion

Re-Emergence

Previously culled concepts re-emerge, with the exception of Karma. Some new concepts are also born. Initially, the library's inhabitants remain hidden from them.

Against Instruction

Xiao goes out of his way to 'lead' Misra to the library, against Tomo's wishes. She assumes Tomo is a new, young god. Tomo does not correct her.

Xiao: ambassador of memories
Misra: fate
Tomo: memories

Socialization

It's business as usual again - well, not entirely. A new god emerges, declaring himself the god of 'Existence'. Tomo has a not-so-puppy crush; he and Exi become very close.

Exi shares alcohol with both Tomo and Misra who get very, very drunk. The end result is Amir. This is the first proper recognition of analogs as something beyond simple familiars (sorry Alwen).

Existence: exi.
Tomo: memories
Misra: fate
Amir: analog. child of tomo and misra.
Alwen: analog. child of dylan and alea.

Return of Permanence

The rebirth of old concepts frees the pieces of Percy's soul from the dimensions he was maintaining. Over time, some of these pieces return to him, and some coalesce to create Prie, who is also dormant with Permanence and Emerald.

Percy: permanence
Prie: tenacity

Short-Lived Festivities

Exi is forced to make a decision; live a short, independent life, or return to being an errand boy for his god. He chooses the former, and his life is aptly cut short not long after.

Grieving

Overcome with sorrow and grief, Tomo is dying a slow, miserable death. His friends can only sit and watch as he refuses to do away with Exi's book.
